Debuting for the first time in Toronto, AIBC Americas plans to unite the minds spearheading the future of emerging and disruptive industries taking the world by storm and giving them the platform to share their insights to a crowd of innovators and entrepreneurs.

Breaking ground in tomorrow’s economy: Meet the speakers

Growing exponentially since its initial founding, the AIBC Summit has grown to be at the heart of a massive network of industry pioneers, technologists, futurist visionaries, investors and entrepreneurs. This has made it a Summit with its hand on the pulse of an ever-changing society.

Holding knowledge as the motive force behind innovation, each Summit endeavors to enrich the minds of its delegates as much as it does their business prospects and networks. At Toronto, we plan to draw these leading minds together for two days of keynotes, panel discussions and educational workshops.

The following is a sample of some of the most influential, enlightening and empowering speakers who will be flying to Toronto to carry the conversation about the Industrial Revolution 4.0 forward.
